Announcements

Fishing Minnesota has added a new menu item (see above) called Fishing Report Clubs. It's a way to keep the really good fishing reports coming and being shared only with those who also provide detailed fishing reports.
We will only approve new members who request to join if they have already posted a recent fishing report in the area forum, associated with the Fishing Report Club area you want to join.
Initially we are going to limit the number of regular memberships, in the Fishing Report Clubs, to the top 20 members in each Club, to those with the best frequency and quality fishing reports provided in the club and less so in the regular fishing report forum open to all members. The higher quality fishing report reserved for the club of course.
If you want see detailed fishing reports/tips around your area and will share your detailed fishing report as soon as you join, then Join Now!
Some of the clubs are starting to fill fast. Use the Fishing Reports Club link in the Menu above (after you've posted a fishing report in the regular area forum) and request to Join.

RECEIVE THE GIFTS MEMBERS SHARE WITH YOU HERE...THEN...CREATE SOMETHING TO ENCHANT OTHERS THAT YOU WANT TO SHARE

You know what we all love...

When you enchant people, you fill them with delight and yourself in return. Have Fun!!!

Last season I caught a 43" pike that was tagged and I emailed all the info to the DNR and I still have not recieved any info on the fish. Very disappointing. Have others had this happen? I really wouldn't care if it were a smaller fish but a fish of this size probably has some real interesting info.

I've e-mailed the DNR tag info many times and have always received a letter of appreciation with info about where/when it was caught and length. As a matter of fact I just e-mailed them one tonight. Usually only takes a few weeks.

Under the Fishing Section of the DNR website, on the right hand side, there is a subtitle TAGGED FISH - when you click on that it gives you a list of all the info they are looking for and then the link to e-mail them the info. It would be nice it they had a fill in form on the e-mail so all the info they needed is what they get.

Sorry if I offend anyone with this non-related post. Just a reminder about our government in action. Last year I saw a crow die in my yard and called the disease control division of the state health department. They asked me to freeze the bird and sent someone out to pick it up. They sent me a note 2 weeks later stating it had west nile virus and advised me about the risks for mosquitos transmitting the disease in my yard. Just a heads up.

My bro caught a nice 26'' eye over the weekend that had 2 tags in it. He didn't write the numbers down though because he had it out of the water for a while and wanted to get it back in quickly. Would've been nice to see the info on the fish though.

To much pressure. I hope some day they will lower limits to 4 fish year round. People will still come and it couldn’t hurt to try for a few seasons. I haven’t heard anyone say there are to many fish in Lake of the Woods. The Canadian side is the only thing saving this lake.

Typically they jig May through June, then they start to lindy rig or spinner fish July into September. All depends on what you prefer to do. Ballards Resort bait fishes from start to finish but if you want to down rig many others do that starting in July and end sometime in September usually.
